goods for the fall trade.
The spelling bee by the ladies of the
Methodist aid society, will take place
at the Mills-Sherlock hall Friday night.

of fun.
John Upperman got home from st.
Louis Monday. He visited Iron Noun
tain and Pilot Knob, Mo-, and Bloom
ingtOn, ILL.,, while he was away. He
says he had royal time on the whole
trip.
The G. l.. s. G. meets tomorrow
night at the NJ. Z. church, for their first
recitation, or hour of study as a circle.
There should be a hundred students
and three or four circles in this city.
The weather Monday and Tuesday,
of last week, was quite cool, and old,
rusty stoves were jerked out of their
hiding places in a hurry. The latter
part of the week was as fine weather as
anybody ever saw.
Mr.. Z. NJ. Byerley and children have
returned from their visit to relatives
and friends in Ohio and Indiana. They
did not stay as long as they expected.
They all became hOmesick, especially
the little ones, and Mr.. Byerley came
home on their account.
Elder Mcfarland. pastor of the Chris
tan church, will make short visit to
the southeastern part of the state, the

of the public school at Sharon, will fill
his pulpit Sunday.
This thing of ringing the school bell
for seven minutes, when all the pupils
are within block of the bell, is a nui-
sance. Business men two or three
blocks away can hardly hear themselves
talk while the clangor is going on. 1t
can be heard mile, and two or three
taps are sufficient.

Wichita. The Aetna Clarion fails to
hoist the republican ticket. Never
mind, Bradbury, there will be another
convention next fall, and perhaps it
will be a whack then"
Mrs j. r. Brown, who lives on Elm
creek, sent us large, handsome bunch
of flowers, last Saturday, for which she
will please accept our thanks. Our
botanical editor has gone to st. Louis,
and we cannot name the flowers, but
we know that the female members of
our family made as much fuss over
them as though they had been Mares
chal Neil roses.
We believe that Medicine Lodge has
two as good weekly newspapers as any
town of its size in the state, and vet.
neither of them will compare with 9th
er papers in like towns, in a business
point of view. Our merchants and
business men do not seem to appreciate
printers ink; yet they admit that pa
per does more to build up town than
any other agency. We notice our ex-
changes from Pratt Center, uutchin-
son, Kingman, and nearly everywhere
else, are chock full of business cards,
showing that there is life in the COM
munity where they are published.
Comparing these papers with ours,
stranger would think Medicine Lodge
very sleepy.
The Sunday school convention at
Deerhead was held at the schoOlhouse,
and Notwithstanding the great crowd,
1t was a complete success. There were
three schools represented, and all did
well. The Deerhead school, being at
home. took the lead in the exercises.
The programme of the New Hope
school was well responded to. The sub
jects were The study of the lesson, -

the Sunday school," by Mrs. Crabb.
Mothers in he Sunday school" by l..
G. Crabb. The exercises were superior
to anything ever witnessed in that vi
cinity.
Our own and only pilgrim Bard,
Scott Cummings. of Canema, writes to
the Nescatunga Enterprise, as follows:
lin looking over the Enterprise, of last
week, 1 was agreeably surprised to see
the name of ID. I. McIntire hoisted for
sheriff of Comanche county. have
known Dave ever since the woods
were burnt" and therefore know
whereof speak, when say no man in
the southwest is better qualified for the
important Office Of sheriff, than Dave
McIntire. Politically there is a creek"
between us, but that should be bridged
in county affairs, and we should elect
men WHO are competent and worthy of
trust, such a man is Dave McIntire,
and we hope to see him go through like
a deer in a walk" Mr.. McIntire is
the democratic candidate for sheriff.
In our own county Judge Stevens is
the democratic candidate for sheriff,
and as he is long way the best man
